Paul Carpenter has a nice piece on the bogus "public interest groups" fighting various tort reform proposals in the states.

An example: " 'Pennsylvania Citizens for Fairness, which boasts of working to protect the rights of average citizens, is based at Suite 600, 121 S. Broad St., Philadelphia. That is also the address of a powerful lobbying outfit called the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, which has about as much devotion to fairness as a herd of professional wrestlers."
